1) Re Alfredo's [6740]: > In my view, the time is right to draw a line under these events, and rethink the rules and procedures of the list. This might allow us to review our rules and change them as we see fit (if we want to do this). Having done this, we may decide to invite back some former members who may have left (in the distant past or in the last few days), and who may be willing to abide by the (new) rules and procedures. < I am, of course, open to such a discussion. I propose that it take place ON-list. 2) more on Paul Z's [6738]: Paul writes that the list is "threatened by its manager". I will repeat again what I have written in the past: OPE-L is a collaborative project rather than being my "property" and if it is the will of most listmembers that I stand aside and let someone else be the list coordinator, I will abide by that decision (and would, indeed, help the new coordinator in whatever ways she or he requested in the transition). However, based both on on-list statements in the last week and off-list messages of support that I have received I believe that the overwhelming majority of listmembers are quite happy with the job that I am doing. I think that those who believe otherwize -- out of respect for the _other_ members on this list -- have a responsibility to make their thoughts known and attempt to change the list rather than just remove themselves from it. I invite responses -- by all listmembers -- on this issue as well ON-list. In solidarity, Jerry
